The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1887-06-11


the pockets empty and ore has to be
stocked to be handled aeain, which oc-
casions a considerable extra cost In op-
Grating some OF the mines. II Is quite
certain that the Upper Peninsula needs
more ore cars, more dock room, more
railroads and more boats, or else the
business will necessarily have TO be cur
tailed. The present facilities for hand
ling ore are not sufiicientfor theexpected
output.
The Reporter this week, with it's GUS
tomary enterprise, sends out with it's
regular edition a new and handsome map
OF Gogebic and Ontonaeon counties
showing in colors the location OF the
lands OF Messrs. Case and Longyear, OF
Marquette, and Messrs. Allis and Merrill,
o'Milwaukee. Regarding the map Mr.. j.
M. Case writes: 'Mr. Longyear and /
prepared this map with great care for the
express purpose Of giving TO the public
information which we have secured dur
ing the past eight or nine years through
careful examinations OF lands in the sew
eral districts and believe the informa-
ton furnished by the map will be worth
as much to the general public as any
written description. IL is generally
known that on the lands selected and
owned by Mr.. Longycar ON the Goeebic
range are located many of the most ex-
tensive and valuable mines in that dis
trict, among which are the Ashland, Nor
RE, Aurora, and Anvil. The map also
shows that great number OF the most
promising explorations now being carried
on in the Gogebic district are upon our
lands. The map shows clearly the lines
of the Duluth, South Shore 4 Atlantic rail-
road, the Milwaukee, Lake Shore& West
ern, the extension ofthe Chicago * North
Western from Iron River TO Watcrsmeet,
and the Wisconsin Central Railway from
Hurley TO Bes-cmer. The lines OF mag
netic attraction and the Indications Of
iron ore are also 30 clearly shown that
believe there will bc no trouble whatever
in their being fully understood by the
general public. Mining Reporter.
